Hello Parker! ...and good bye Highlands Ranch

[Kraven251]

Finally completed the move from Highlands Ranch. I can say without a doubt Parker is a much friendlier environment. Stopped in and saw the guys at Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo, saw the cleanest Wal-Mart I have seen in years and they had firearms to boot ...and had some decent barbeque at the Hickory House.

All and all I have no complaints. Not to mention when they finally get that indoor range finished I can just walk down the street, full of win.

As soon as I am able to I'm moving my family down to Parker. Seems like that's the place to go for a quality living experience in the Denver Metro area. Congrats on the move.

Lived in Parker since 2000. Has just what you need in a small town atmosphere.

Parker is just turning into another burb. New strip malls thrown up overnight. I remember when it was still a horse town and had a half-dozen restaurants.

The Hickory House does have some rockin' baby backs. Buffalo Boyd's used to be awesome before it was Californicated.

Every time I run back through Parker there's some new development. That new PD station is something else compared to their old location behind the Village Inn.

Congrats! I moved to Castle Rock in 2004 and haven't looked back since. I now can't stand Highlands Ranch. Everyone is always in such a rush and so pushy. Ugh. You'll enjoy the slower, friendlier pace of Parker.

1 stop sign town AND THE no traffic, leisurely, scenic way, to Co Spgs.

I remember when there was only 1 stop light between Parker and I25 on Lincoln.. *sigh*..

Too many fricking people.. I'm leaving.

It's just another burb.. good luck getting home in a SHTF.. not all that many ways home.. and they're always packed.

At least you got out of the ranch though.

Parker isn't such a bad area if you don't mind driving an extra 30 mins to work each way; or Unless you don't mind getting raped by e470 and pay an extra $120 a month

There are a million ways to get places down here. Sometimes you just have to think outside the road. Tons of greenbelts and open space. IIRC, we had a bear within a mile wondering down the actual cherry creek.
